Distinct Personalities

These words present God and Christ as two distinct personalities.1NL 124.6

Christ prays that a pure, holy love may bind His followers to Himself, and to the Father, that this close fellowship may be a sign that God loves as His own Son those who believe in Him.1NL 124.7

Still the Son of God urges His petition to His Father, Read John 17:24-26.1NL 124.8

Let no man claim that the subjects of the enemy are the temples of God. Read 1 Corinthians 6:9-20.1NL 124.9

The Lord is speaking through His apostle to those who claim to be Christians. He is not speaking to those who have made no profession of righteousness. We are to make no concessions to the enemy. We are not to change one principle of the truth that we have received from God. We cannot hold converse with those who are in league with evil angels. Christ never purchased peace by compromise.—Manuscript 181, 1905.1NL 124.10
